imagine being so rich that you never need to attempt to raise money for anything in your goddamned life so you decide to sell organic cage free gluten free soy free lemon water for funsies but no one in your rich neighborhood leaves their house ever so instead you get your underpaid employees to give you, a rich toddler, their money.

The entire family is filled with horrible, delusional idiots
Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease
Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero. She:
was admitted to Julliard at 8.
was performing in top venues by 16.
pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.
was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.
went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.” Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.
refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.
She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten. But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.
